A review by ameserole
Love from Scratch by Kaitlyn Hill

4.0

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Love from Scratch was a pretty cute romcom kind of book. Yes, there were hints of a rivalry on a cooking show but I honestly really liked watching Benny and Reese fall in love. The tension, nicknames, and food puns were worth the drama in my eyes. Even if things were a tad bit overdramatic at times.

I did not like how certain people talked in certain scenes though.

Spoiler

It is not the women's place to be in the kitchen to cook and clean. So, I didn't like it when one guy said Reese should clean because it's her place. Like, no sir. Take back those fighting words. Then Benny just kind of stands there and looks angry but says nothing. Not a damn freaking thing.

Other than that, things were assumed and shit hit the fan towards the end of the book. Luckily everything worked out in the end once they both talked but damn - things would have been different if they actually communicated throughout the entire book. Could just be me thinking these crazy things though.

In the end, I'm very happy that I got the opportunity to jump into this book. I look forward to the next one that Kaitlyn writes!
